### Component description

The Box is superior to any other child components and sorting them up by horizontal or vertical flow. Whole content elements can inherit surround padding and the spacing ratio between each other. The same applies to height and width properties.

There are just slight differences between container and box components. The box should have a visible background setting, and the container doesn't. In the logic of basic app construction, the container takes less computing time than the box. The container should replace a box component with a transparent or inherited background.
